1. Quality of Content and Legibility -
The primary thing that you will be expected to take care of while setting up a New web is not only is the quality of the content you upload up to the mark, but also that your pages use satisfactory design factors such as colour of the background, font and font type to ensure maximum legibility. Avoid vibrant colours such as oranges and yellows which make it even more difficult for people to read on the New web. It is a big no to use an image as a background which tends to sometimes merge with the font, thus making it impossible for you to communicate with your audiences.
It is a known fact that most users will most likely not even read 30% of the content that you post. The important information should be easily accessible to users who tend to only scan through each page.
If you break up the content of your pages with important headers, it becomes much easier for the visitors of your New web to skim through the paragraphs and get to the parts that are the answer to the information they are looking for. Consider the optimization implications while drafting headers, which are recommended to be created in H1 through H4 tags.
Also avoid long paragraphs and maintain a good structure while designing the material.
2. Browser Compliance
This is crucial to every design project. It is strongly recommended that one chooses to develop and test a portal on popular and standard browsing platforms such as Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. If you are able to create your New web to be compliant to standards it is very unlikely that it won't work on most major browsing platforms.
3. Ensuring User-friendly Navigation -
As a designer you are expected employ every tool possible to ensure a pleasurable browsing experience for your audiences. By making effective use of menus and links, you need to facilitate the smooth flow for your users from one page to another. The rule is to make sure that every user is able to get the desired page within the first three clicks.
If you are able to incorporate more than one points of navigation on the New web, you can simplify the navigation for your visitors online. Simple things such as consistently maintaining the top menu with drop down sub menu's can ensure cross navigation through various sections of your New web, without the user having to go all the way back to the home page.
